Learning outside the classroom is an important way to encourage students to consolidate their learning beyond lessons and encourage them to develop study skills essential to succeed further in their education. The set activities involve a range of study skills including research, presentation skills, extended writing tasks, creative tasks and learning activities.
Students will receive Achieving Excellence points as part of the academy rewards when they hand in homework of a good quality.
Show My Homework
To help all students with their homework tasks we are using “Show My Homework” which is an electronic homework calendar outlining the set task as well as the hand in date.
Show My Homework can be accessed via the link in the website footer. And the link below.
